Crazy! after so many years finally taking on the assault weapon ban.
While I’m happy to hear this, I’m 74 years old and running out of time.
If it makes you feel any better, lawyery types who care about these things think we will see the third circuit decision soon after the rulings get updated to reflect anything new out of the Hermani and Wolford rulings. So hopefully before 10-4.
Things that make me smile:
…Roughly a dozen states and the District of Columbia currently have some form of assault‑weapons restriction. These include California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii’s partial ban on assault pistols, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Washington, as well as Washington, D.C. …

I love that map. It shows that a MAJORITY of states, which democrats supposedly love and are all about, supports owning AR15s. Of course, pointing that out to them usually results in a 1/0 moment…
Anyone know if the circuit courts take a summer recess like SCOTUS does?
Per Grok AI:
Unlike the Supreme Court, which has formal sittings/recesses and typically wraps major opinions by late June/early July, the federal courts of appeals (including the Third Circuit) operate more continuously to manage their high volume of cases. Judges work on briefs, conferences, and drafting year-round, with panel sittings distributed across the calendar

California started this assault on our Second amendment rights in 1989. 37 years ago 
Extremely happy to have lived long enough to see it finally settled.

What is that
A way to view a large majority of paywalled/subscribe-walled/ad-walled news articles/web sites.
The author doesn’t understand the jurisprudence.
But if the gun is found to be in common use, it is presumed to be protected. Any modern restrictions on it must then pass the “history and tradition” test, created in the Bruen case, to determine if there is a record of analogous laws in the past.
If a gun is is found not to be “dangerous and unusual” it cannot be banned. There is no history/tradition test after that. The dangerous and unusual test is the history and tradition test. There is no valid tradition of banning guns in common use for lawful purposes.

That’s very nice of the Everytown Clowns 
, but as @Mr.Stu said, we shouldn’t even get to that test.
